"How!" replied the chief, with a little hesitation; but a dozen voices around him were shouting,
"Send Warning!"
"Knotted Cord!"
"Pale-face friends of Apaches!"
And it was plain that the description given of them by Red Wolf and the girls had been accurate enough for their instant recognition.
"Other pale-faces run away. Why you stay?"
"Don't know them. Strangers. Run away from Apache chief. Chief must not follow."
"Why not follow?"
"Run against Lipans. Have big fight. Lose many warriors. All for nothing. Better go back."
"Send Warning is a good friend. Do what he say. You come?"
